Schedule : Flexible Hybrid

Our client, a nationally recognized consulting, tax, accounting, audit, and advisory firm, is seeking an experienced Tax Senior Manager to join its growing Kansas City metro practice based in Overland Park.

This is more than a traditional tax senior management role.

It's an opportunity to serve as a trusted advisor to business owners, healthcare organizations, financial institutions, real estate companies, manufacturers, and professional service firms while helping lead and develop one of the firm's expanding tax practices.

The ideal candidate brings technical tax expertise, client relationship skills, leadership capabilities, and the desire to help clients navigate increasingly complex business and tax challenges.

If you're looking for a visible leadership role with sophisticated client work, strong earning potential, and a clear path toward Principal-level advancement, we'd welcome a confidential conversation.
